“I have never ruled out playing for South Africa but my priority has always been my club football. The past two or three years have been hugely important for me,” he told English publication the Daily Echo.

“If I had gone to play international football things might not have worked out the same way.

“I was really honoured to be called up and it certainly was not something I turned up my nose at. I really, seriously, considered it.

“But I have a young family and international football is a big commitment.”
